My Magnificent Mustang

 

This month Abby was chosen by her teacher to receive the Magnificent Mustang award at school.  This is where they chose a child in their class who exhibits the character quality for the month.  This month was the quality of trustworthy.  Kids who are:

* Honest in their words and actions

* Do what they way they will do

* Do what they know is right even when it is difficult.

* Are good friends

Wow, they hit the nail on the head with that one!  They described Abigail to a T!  She had no idea she was getting the award.  They like to keep it a surprise and she sure was.  It was fun to see her at school and to see her true self recognized by others. 

Abigail is and always has been a rule follower (she get’s that from her dad).  Things are black and white for her.  She’s such a good example to her brothers and it’s nice to have that around in our house to keep us all focused and to chose the right!

Way to go Abigail.  Your family is very proud of you and we love you!

Abigail and Mrs. Lindsey.  It was black clothes and crazy tie day.  Thanks dad for the “Operation” tie.  Why couldn’t it have been, dress your best day? 

p.s.  Her award had been chewed on by 6 month old Maddox.

Holiday Decor

Each year the holidays seem to be more exciting that the previous year.  Why you ask?  If you have young children then you’ll understand.  They start to get excited about holidays about three months before the actual event.  The first one of the school year was no exception. 

Abby has been talking about Halloween for two months now.  What she is going to be, all the parties she was planning to have (ya’ right), and all the decorations we need to put up.  Needless to say we didn’t have much.  Maybe one glittered Halloween scene with a tree, a house and a witch.  So what did we do?  We went crafty of course.  Our first time with wood work and it was a fun family project to do. This is just the beginning at the Watson house.
